Circa has a fancy new chef. Also, a toga party.

Erik Hopfinger parted ways with Circa last year, and now the Marina bar/restaurant has finally found his successor. Its new executive chef is Amy Glaze, who has a pretty impressive pedigree, having worked at Eric Ripert’s Le Bernardin in New York and Guy Savoy in Paris. Here in the Bay, Glaze was most recently (and very briefly) the chef at Nob Hill oddity Le Club. Her new menu is billed as “fresh and seasonal.”

In other Circa news, this Friday is its Greek Toga Party, featuring free drinks for people in togas. So yeah, what could possibly go awry?

Circa: the only place in town where you can have a dinner from a Ripert/Savoy vet while wearing a toga.
